Employees can be one of the most valuable assets of a business, however, if the working relationship breaks down, an Employee can represent a major risk to your business.

We appreciate the commercial reality of the any Employers business and so we offer a wide range of affordable services to support Employers in achieving their goals and we can provide expert advice on:

Disciplinary & Dismissal Procedures

ACAS Procedures

On 6 April 2009, the government changed the way in which problems at work are addressed for both Employers and Employees. The Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) Code of Practice now underpins the processes.

Non-compliance with the Code can lead to employers being exposed to substantial claims. Our team can provide you with assistance and advice helping you to manage any risks.

Redundancy

Making staff redundant is never easy, however, in today’s economic climate redundancies are becoming more and more frequent as more and more businesses are forced to layoff members of their workforce.

If your business is considering the difficult process of redundancies, it is important that the correct procedure is followed. A failure in the selection process can be extremely costly from the Employer’s point of view.

We are able to provide guidance from the start to the end of the redundancy process guiding you every step of the way.

Diversity, Discrimination & Equal Pay
